Paulrobbo Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi all. Another stupid question :) The gearbox on my newly aquired 1500 (I've promised my wife I'll keep this one for at least 6 months :)) ) came with a noisy gearbox. That's why I got it cheap. I did think it may be low oil as the OD was also temperamental. However, when I went to top it up earlier, through a hole cut in the tunnel cover, a tip I picked up on the forum, about half a litre of oil drained out. It was clean so was probably replaced recently. My question is, could to much oil cause a noisy box and temperamental OD. If not I may be looking for a replacement gearbox :) I'm a bit worried and don't want to drive it until i get it sorted now. Thanks.

Nick Jones Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Not really. The most likely outcome of too much oil is even more leakage than usual. I reckon the oil has been added in an attempt to disguise the issues. The OD problem may only be electrical but the noise is more serious.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshire_spam Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hey Paul,I've just done a rebuild on a single rail 4 speed for an OD. It's not a terrible job, say 90 quids worth of parts, (bearings, gaskets, synchros, layshaft etc.)Although I suppose getting a recon would get you back on the road faster.Cheers,Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTeesside Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Seeing as it has a top breather, I thought any excess would just splurt out? If you have an unblocked breather of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
